“Don’t trust. Verify.” applies here. Campaign promises are cheap.

It’s bullish that we’re a pander-worthy class. It means spineless politicians will at least claim to support our interests.

I don’t expect the cartel of bankers who benefit from dollar hegemony to just give up their power however.

I was talking about me 🤣😭🤣

They’re not thick, they’re scared to actually win. Their whole world revolves around being the loser underdog.

RUN NODES

I love that after 10 years of being married to me, my wife still doesn’t know anything about bitcoin. lol

Wouldn’t have it any other way.

Didn't login this entire weekend except for the test bot script going haywire posting for me here.

What did I miss? Anything good? Needed the rest.

That’s exactly my point I guess, you are subscribing to my posts not following me as a user/person.

I think we borrowed that from FB and Twitter without much thought.

Btw pilgrimage starts at 8 am tomorrow and I expect all my followers to be there 😁

Bad understanding of Nostr to position as “social media.”

Being social-media-obsessed is legacy thinking. Nostr is not about social media; it is all about re-imagining the web.

Something I’m rather firm on is that if you have the ability to make children and you do not. You are in 99.99% if circumstances making a gigantic mistake.

Children make life worth living.

Children provide instant meaning to life.

They inspire planning and care about the future.

They increase joy.

They make life novel and exciting again.

They’re innovative, surprising and imaginative.

They reflexively shape us as we attempt to shape them into better versions of themselves/ourselves.

If you have children and they have children you will be increasingly surrounded by life as you grow old.

If you do not, you will be surrounded by death as everyone you know slowly dies.

You will never regret having kids.

You will certainly regret not having them.

If you have kids you are honoring the sacrifice and suffering your ancestors had to endure by passing the torch forward.

If you do not you are dishonoring them by wasting your life on the meaningless pursuit of your own pleasure.

These are very strongly held immutable beliefs for me.

Nostr serves as the credible backup plan for when governments seize or ban X.

Electricity transmission infrastructure is ugly to many people, but I generally find it to be uplifting. Maybe it’s because of my original profession.

Electricity is one of the biggest quality of life enhancers for people, and so transmission lines give me a sense of development and progress. Distribution lines are often haphazard looking, but transmission lines generally have a bigger and more organized appearance which kind of appeals to my sense of order.

In forested areas they tend to be more subtle/hidden, but in deserts they’re just kind of out in the open.

It’s so true man. The fancy luxury shit really just doesn’t matter at all. Dinner with friends and family. That’s the peak experience of human existence. It literally doesn’t get better.

Moar...lets go!

I would never have thought what a big thing it is

Someone explain this to me, I'm dumb
